The Kia EV9 GT-Line builds on Kia's electrified lineup with a luxurious, high-performance EV for those who need three rows.

Kia EV9 MSRP $54,900.00 Score Details “The Kia EV9 is a great buy no matter which model you go for.” Pros Cons The world of electric SUVs hasn’t been known for its variety. If you’re in the market for a full-size SUV and want something electric, you’re more or less limited to a car like the Rivian R1S — a car that’s far from affordable. But if there were any company that could start to finally bring affordable options to the market, it would be Kia.

On the front, the EV9 sports Kia’s new “Digital Tiger Nose,” which is essentially an evolution of the Tiger Grille that adorned previous-generation Kia cars. You’ll get angular headlights with a kind of pixel design that looks very modern. This pixel design is only available on higher-end models, however you will get the angular headlights no matter which model you go for.

Storage space is ample too, depending on whether you keep the third row of seats up or not. With the third row of seats up, there’s 20.2 cu-ft of space, however with the third row down, you’ll get 43.5 cu-ft of storage space. There’s also a frunk, which gets smaller if you opt for all-wheel-drive. The GT-Line is an AWD model, and there was still enough space to store a few grocery bags.

There are some great driver-assist features built into the car too, even standard. No matter what model you buy, you’ll get basics like blind-spot monitoring and emergency braking. If you get the GT-Line, you’ll get an advanced cruise control with lane-centering, and unlike other cars, you won’t be forced to keep your hands on the wheel. It worked quite well, and while it’s really only useful on the highway, it is one step further towards better self-driving tech.
